Mods Studio 2 v.2020.04 released (Patreon)

Hello friends,

Another month, another MS2 release! As always, it's packed with new content, improvements, bug fixes... And, once again, I have been working on it until the last moment - that means that there might be some new bugs lurking around. If you stumble upon them, please let me know. :) I'll fix them in the next few days before this version goes public.

Most development time went into a new mod template called "Existing mod". This is basically a mod merge tool. It allows you to add an existing packed mod file to your mod project. Add multiple existing mod templates to a single project, and you'll in essence simply merge them. It's a new feature and it will get improvements with time. Your feedback is appreciated! 

Changelog

Added new cargo container model: 20 foot liquid container (ETS & ATS)

Added new cargo container model: 53 foot container (ATS)

Updated all cargo container models. Cargo containers now have proper labels and decals applied making them much more realistic

Added option to have compact mod template list in the "Add mod template" button

Added skinning support for recent SCS trailers (ETS2 Food tanker, ATS Chip van & Grain hopper)

Scania Mighty Griffin accessories support added, as well as MS2 can now have trucks in both "Simple" and "Advanced" skin modes at the same time

Added missing companies from DLCs for both ETS2 and ATS

Existing mod template (Mod merge tool)

Fixed a bug that prevented using of 3D previewer with the new Mack Anthem

Added default values for metallic skins to all skin mod templates. These values were tried and tested by our Discord community. Of course, you can still change everything to your liking

Compress mod option is now set to ON by default

User interface improvements related to the cargo list (added option to duplicate items, added "Refresh list" button)

... and some more under the hood fixes and improvements. :)

Patron survey

If you missed it, there is a patron-only survey going on. I would greatly appreciate if you could spare 5 minutes and fill it out if you haven't already. Results so far have been completely unexpected, and that shows me that I might have completely different priorities than you do :) That's why this survey is so valuable - it helps me see what features need to be prioritised. The survey is here: https://kwiksurveys.com/s/xHpt5LTC

Next month

I'll do my best to enable traffic truck skinning. I'm not sure how, or if it'll be done in one month, but that will be my next big project. Also, I'd like to add some more games to MS2. A good place to begin is to add some "vintage" SCS titles. Also, I'll continue improving and adding regular ATS & ETS2 content. Also, we need a way to edit companies, so you can finally deliver your custom containers to and from locations on mod maps. :)

I hope you all are safe, and as always - Thank You for your support!

All the best,MarinEdit (June 2nd, 2020): Re-uploaded MS2 with fixed version
